NEW PLANTS FROM NEW MEXICO. 213 
TOWNSENDIA FORMOSA. Perennial, spreading by short stout 
stolons, the sterile ones ending ina rosette of leaves, the others 
in a stout upright very leafy monocephalous stem: basal leaves 
cuneately to spatulately obovate, very obtuse, entire, ł to 14 
inches long, of thin texture, glabrous, except as to the prickly- 
ciliolate margins, those of the stem crowded and somewhat im- 
bricated, spatulate-oblong: heads large, 2 inches broad from tip 
to tip of the broad purple rays: bracts of involucre oblong to 
lanceolate, thin, broadly scarious-margined. 
In the Black Range, in the spring or early summer of 1903, 
O. B. Metcalfe; specimens sent to me under n. 1434. : 
HEDEOMA PULCHELLA. Dwarf many-stemmed perennial,at very 
base suffrutescent, the stems though tufted usually simple, leafy, 
floriferous from the base, 3 tod inches high, all the growing 
and flowering parts villous-hoary, leaves + inch long, ovate, very 
acute and sharply few-toothed above the middle, flowers very 
large for so small a plant, 2 or 3 in each axil; calyx strongly 
bilabiate, the slender-subulate teeth and the tube all equally 
and strongly hirsutulous: corolla lavender-colored, more than 3 
inch long, the tube slender, long-exserted. 
Limestone hills at about 6600 feet near Kingston, 18 May, 
1905, O. B. Metcalfe, n. 1599. The most beautiful and large- 
flowered of dwarf species. 
UROPAPPUS PRUINOSUS. Annual, stout, low, subacaulescent, 
6 to 10 inches high: leaves but half the length of the scapi- 
form peduncles, consisting of a linear rachis and remote nar- 
rowly linear segments, the whole, and also the lower part of the 
peduncles more or less hoary with short papilliform and some 
longer and curled white hairs: fruiting heads barely an inch 
high: achenes short, subcylindric, tapering but slightly, of only 
half the length of the pappus, paleae of the latter very deeply 
bifid, the bristle long in proportion. ’ 
Common winter annual of southwestern New Mexico and 
adjacent Arizona, hitherto referred to U. Jinearifolia of the 
Pacific seaboard; thoroughly distinct by its short achenes and 
comparatively long pappus, the achenes not beaked, etc. The 
Lzaruets, Vol. I. pp. 213-216. June 5, 1906.
